I like to post this one every year because it's one of those Christmas songs that I never hear on the radio anymore. Every year I have to argue someone down because they just swear it's Michael Jackson singing it.

what the...?? i had to hit up my friend Google for this one.

I probably would. Lord

Chico when did this album come out....in your Goggle search? Had to been during the Black Power Movement.


My husband and I are in tears.

The thing is, the radio hasn't played that song in years since the early 1980s when they were playing vinyl. A lot of people haven't heard it since then when they were children themselves. All they know is it was a young black child and everyone remembers "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" by The Jackson Five which still gets airplay today.

In recent years when I would go to the record store looking for it, even the record clerks thought it was Michael Jackson and would argue me down.

Doesn't excuse that they're dumb asses.

TD3 said:

Yes I believe it was. Oh Lord, and the song is actually horrible.

"Handsome like my daddy". I bet the daddy looked like a crack head. God what were we black folks ON back in 1972?!

TD3 said:

1973???

here's a link

SANTA SONG

I've never heard of that one but I want it. I wonder if there is a youtube video. If there is, I'll be recording the audio onto CD this weekend.

The link says Akim is a girl. I always thought it was a little boy.

vainandy said:

well her parents probably said when she was born, "she looks like a 'Kim'"
"Akim it is then."

and the video...is that George Clinton??

Why is this reminding me of Richard Pryor?!

CHIC0 said:

I think they probably named her "Akim" because that was supposed to re-connect them to their African roots or some shit. I know Africans were like " "

why did my girl's Christmas album come up as i was researching this song....

I've always liked it. .

I put it on a Christmas CD for a different person every year and when the CD reaches the point to where the song comes on, they holler!.....Damn, I haven't heard that in years! You got everything on this motherfucker!

...snip, snip

my daddy used to tell a story about how his daddy would say.."hey children, yall ready for christmas...and the kids would be all excited. the reality was, they were very poor and grandpa didn't know how he was gonna make christmas for his family. He told the children he was going to find santa cause he couldnt understand why he hadn't delivered gifts yet...it was well into christmas eve.

grandpa went outside, and the children heard gunfire. when grandpa returned, he announced to the children.."children, there will be no christmas..santa commited suicide." ..what a groaner, eh????
